Notepad doesn't get any respect. Most people just think of it as the simplest of text editors. Well it's a little more than that. While it may not be any real competition for your favorite word processor, it does have it features. Besides the ability to set margin sizes, you can insert the file name, date, time, page numbering, or all of the above, in the header or footer of a printed Notepad page.
Go to the File menu and select Page Setup, and take a look at the Header and Footer options. By default, the setting "&f" next to Header tells Notepad to print the filename at the top of the page. Next to Footer, "Page &p" tells Notepad to print the word "Page", then the current page number in the footer.
You can change these settings to anything you want (or delete them altogether) by typing any combination of commands on the Header and Footer lines. For a list of commands, click Header or Footer with the right mouse button and select the What's This button that appears. When you're done typing or deleting, click OK. The changes will affect every Notepad file, until you change them to something else.
